I have been using GnuCash for the past few months after importing from Quicken. Great application and very pleased with it as a double-entry system. However, just over the past month or so I've noticed a very unexpected result. The file has in excess of 15,000 entries and includes 2005 to present. I'm still running Quicken in parallel and all both systems are in complete agreement with balances. Fortunately I'm retired and can make the time available.
When performing a search to see how much I've spent with a particular vendor (i.e. gas station, grocer) the search results register opens showing all entries with the specific vendor and of course zero balance(s) in the search register. Now if I select "reports > account report" I would expect the report to show zero balances with totals for credits and debits. This is not the case as I see a non-zero balance column in the report although the search results register shows zero balance. To further muddy the waters I have discovered this unexpected balance uniformly increasing up until around entries from mid-august and then the balance in the "search results account report" to steadily decrease? For gasoline or groceries i would expect the balance to uniformly increase with each entry. The report shows debits and credits in the correct columns and none with negative values. So my question(s) are 1. why would there be a account report balance other than zero when the search results registers shows zero and 2. why would the balance seemingly reverse arithmetically for only the past six weeks or so? All accounts are in balance (no imbalances shown for any account type) and account register reports all provide expected results. It is only search results register acting strange. By the way, this only occurs for entries dated after mid-august. Also, the OS is LinuxMint 18.2 with GnuCash ver 2.6.12. Any help would be most appreciated.
